How To Make baked macaroni & cheese
-
1Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Do not allow butter to brown.
-
2Once all the butter has melted, add the flour and stir continuously. Do NOT allow the flour mixture (roux) to brown. You must stir continuously. A wire whisk is best for this task.
-
3You are creating a roux! This is a basic sauce that can be used for different purposes. Here, it will be the basis of a delicious cheese sauce.
-
4Once the rawness of the flour has been cooked off, you will add the two cups of whole milk, whisking continuously.
-
5Once the milk has combined thoroughly with the flour mixture, add the following ingredients: heavy whipping cream, salt and cracked black pepper.
-
6Your roux will begin to thicken, continue whisking continuously. You want to avoid any lumps, and the vigorous whisking will help you avoid this.
-
7Once the mixture has thickened, add the Frank's red hot sauce and 6 of the 8 ounces of shredded cheese. Remove from heat immediately, and continue whisking until the cheddar has melted.
-
8In a large baking pan (glass or metal is fine), put the cooked macaroni on the bottom, then cover
